The Wish Lyrics - Singles - Dusty Drake

The crowd rose to their feet 

'Round a diamond made of clay 

A little boy was rounding third 

But the ball beat him to the plate 

Before the dust could even settle 

The other team began to cheer 

Instead of riding up on shoulders 

He's fighting back the tears 

I wish I could've won 

I wish I knew how that feels 

I wish I could've run 

Faster than a throw from centrefield 

'Cause being the hero 

Sure looks like a lot of fun 

And I wish that I was there 

I wish that life was fair 

I wish I could've won 

Sitting there by the dugout 

Another boy was watching through the fence 

And dreaming 'bout the things that he could do 

If only he was given half a chance 

Amazed at the reaction of the team 

Kicking dirt and pitching fits 

He says, I know they'd sit differently 

If they could see from where I sit 

I wish I could've lost 

I wish I knew how that feels 

I wish that I could walk 

Without the help of these four wheels 

I'd be as happy as a hero 

Just to play the game at all 

And I wish that I was there 

I wish that life was fair 

I wish I could've lost 

Yeah, I wish that life was fair 

That I could get out of this chair 

I wish I could've lost
